Wagner's Ribs - Porter

Parking: Wish they pave the parking lot Kid-friendliness: Can't take kids there ugh wish they can Wheelchair accessibility: Not handicap acceptable!??

Discrimination against families no under 21 in the whole restaurant. Take the asterix off your webpage please so people know the restaurant will not serve food to anyone under 21. What a shame.

Ribs used to be 5 star but now are a 4. I'm not sure why they aren't as good as they used to be. I like that one option isn't smoked so if you don't like smoky ribs you can order the original style. And, of course, the waffle fries are legendary. Very casual restaurant the ambience isn't special. Great filet mignon but it's priced as high as at other restaurants that have upscale ambiences. Kid friendliness: Must be over 21 to enter, even though Indiana changed its law. The law leaves it up to the restaurant whether to allow kids. So this is a great place to go if you don't want to be around screaming kids.

I have been coming to Wagner‘s for nearly 40 years. Their ribs are still my favorite. Upon my arrival, I waited to be told what seating was available, chose a section and sat down. It took over five minutes for a server to even acknowledge me and bring menus. I waited another five minutes for someone to take the beverage order. Having been a long-standing customer, I already knew what I was going to order. When our food was brought out, both slabs of ribs were not just charred, they were burned. I have never, ever, received such a poor quality from Wagner‘s in the past. I was just going to push through, but we were celebrating a birthday, so my guest spoke to a different server because our server never came back to check on us. The other server gave us great service, brought us each a fresh slab that was not burned, refilled our drinks, and checked on us multiple times to see if everything was okay. Our original server then came back to ask if things were OK after server 2 took care of us. Our meal was made right by the alternate server, but that should never have been the case. You can see burned ribs when you put them on the plate and when you serve them if you actually look. Wagner’s is still my favorite place for ribs. They were fall off the bone, tender and meaty. Kid-friendliness: No one under 21 allowed.

We regret that we couldn't taste the food that has such good reviews the service was so slow and unresponsive that we worried how much longer it would take to get the food. We didn't have so much time to stay.
